Pre-engraved with "GORGEOUS AT SIXTEEN" — the compliment one, and the pick for a party built around getting ready together as much as the celebration itself. Flat birch wood ice lolly sticks, ready to use straight from the pack with no minimum order and no custom run required. Order a single stick or up to 10,000.
FSC-certified natural birch, laser-etched with no inks or dyes, so they are food-safe for direct contact with cakesicles, ice lollies and chocolate-dipped treats. All four sizes held in UK stock at our Blackpool warehouse for same-day despatch.

Ideal for a sweet sixteen
- Beauty, spa and pamper-themed sixteenths — the wording reads as a compliment paid to the guest of honour rather than a label on the date
- Getting-ready mornings, where treats are handed round while hair and makeup are done and everything is being photographed
- Blush, rose gold and soft-neutral dessert tables, where bare birch is warmer than a white printed tag
- Party favours for the friendship group, since the wording flatters whoever takes one home rather than only the guest of honour
- Cake makers supplying sixteenths who want a saying with more warmth than a plain age
Frequently asked questions
How many sticks do I need for a sweet sixteen party?
One stick per cakesicle or lolly, and one treat per guest is the usual allowance. A sixteenth with 35 guests therefore needs 35 sticks, so a pack of 50 is the natural order and leaves spares for breakages. If the sticks are also going into cake pops or dipped strawberries, count those separately.
Does this saying work as a favour for every guest, not just the guest of honour?
That is its advantage over a dated saying. "Gorgeous at Sixteen" reads as a compliment to whoever is holding it, so a bagged cakesicle handed to each guest lands as a nice thing to be given rather than a souvenir of somebody else's birthday.
What size stick is best for cakesicles?
Both 93×10×2mm and 114×10×2mm fit the standard UK cakesicle moulds. 93mm is the usual choice and sits neatly in the mould; 114mm gives you more stick to hold, which suits deeper moulds and larger cakesicles. The 200×24×2mm paddle is for oversized, statement pieces — it will not fit a standard mould.
Can the sticks go in the freezer?
Yes. Birch handles freezing without splintering, which is why it is the standard for ice lollies. Freeze the finished lolly with the stick in place as normal — the engraving is cut into the wood, not printed on, so it will not lift or fade at low temperatures.
Will the engraving affect the taste?
No. The lettering is laser-etched into the surface of the wood — no inks, dyes or coatings are used at any stage, so there is nothing to transfer into the food. The sticks are food-grade and safe for direct contact with chocolate, ice cream and set sugar.
Can I get a name or date on them instead?
Yes — our bespoke engraved sticks take any wording, including a name, age and date, with no minimum order. Useful if you want the guest of honour's name on the sticks rather than a stock saying.
Trade buyers can open a Trade Account and save up to 40% against retail prices. Ordering 100,000 or more? Hot stamping works out considerably cheaper at that volume.
